General Plan Information
A. Land Use Element
The land use element designates this property as RMH, Residential
Medium High Density, 10-20 du/acre. However, the land use
element also specifies that certain unique and special uses
shall be allowed in any category subject to zoning controls.
Since this CUP is permitted as per Section 21.48.080, it is
therefore consistent with the General Plan if it meets the
requirements of Section 21.42.020.
B. Public Facilities
City Sewer: This project is being serviced by the City of
Carlsbad.
Schools: This is an industrial project and will have no
effect on the school system.
Cit! Water: Water service is currently provided by the City of
Car shad.
Gas and Electric: SDG&E now supplies services to this project.
On-site and Adjacent Public Improvements: Any necessary public
improvements will be -required per the city Public Improvement
Ordinance and/or as conditions of approval.
Other Public Facilities: All other public facilities necessary
to serve this project will be available concurrent with
need as a result of the public facilities fee.
Other Elements of the General Plan: This project is consistent
with other elements of the city's current general plan.
Environmental Impact Information
This project has been processed through environmental review
and a negative declaration has been issued based on the
following findings:
1. The site has been previously developed and therefore the
proposed structure will not have any adverse impacts on
any significant environmental resources.
2. No additional landform alteration or site modifications
is proposed which could result in any potentially
significant environmental impacts.
History and Related Cases
ZCA-105, Non-conforming Uses, Ordinance No. 9538.
On October 2, 1979, the City Council approved ZCA-105 which
allows for the expansion of non-conforming uses by Conditional
Use Permit. This amendment limited the amount of expansion
to 50% of existing value for those uses which provide a
service to the City. This amendment also allowed for the
establishment of a date of abatement. The CUP will expire 3
months after issuance.

Major Planning Considerations
1. When shall the use be abated?
2. What conditions should be applied to this expansion to
adjust the use to the existing and future uses in the
neighborhood?
Discussion
Section 21.48.080 allows the expansion of a non-conforming use
The expansion is limited to 50% of value since the use is one
which provides a public service traditionally provided by the
City. This section also requires that a date be set for
amortization of the non-conforming use.
The major issues associated with this project include the
building setback, screening of storage areas from street
right-of-way, on-site employee parking and the establishment
of an amortization date.
Exhibit A shows the proposed building on the east property
line adjacent to an existing kennel. Locating the building
on the property line will have a detrimental affect on the
neighboring kennel, by creating an adverse visual impact
and blocking sunlight from the property. Since the RDM
zone requires a 10 foot rear yard, and conditional uses must
meet the requirements of the underlying zone, a 10 foot
setback will be required.-The 10 foot setback will lessen
the impact on the neighboring kennel.
At this time, there is no screening of the storage _areas which
are visible from Carlsbad Boulevard and the State Beach.
A condition will require screening of the storage areas along
the west property line with landscaping or wood slats in the
chain link fence.
There is an area designated for employee parking on-site,
although the area is unpaved. The applicant will be required
to pave and improve the parking area to provide parking for
20 cars.
The applicant is requesting a 5 year amortization date for the
use. This amount of time is adequate to allow the applicant
to obtain necessary approvals and permits to purchase a new
site and to reloqate. The requirements for parking and
screening of storage areas will help to adjust this present
use to the surrounding uses. According to Section
21.48.080, the non-conforming use must be removed by the date
established in the CUP and the amortization date must be
recorded on the deed. This will be required as conditions
of approval.

Recommendation
Staff recommends APPROVAL of CUP-171, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
1. This project is consistent with the General Plan Land
Use Element since it meets the provisions for unique
and special uses.
2. This project is consistent with all applicable Public
Facility Policies and Ordinances and with the Public
Facilities Element since:
a. Sewer service is currently provided by the City
of Carlsbad's County Water District.
b. Water service is currently provided by the City
of Carlsbad.
c. Gas and Electric service is provided by SDG&E.
d. All necessary on-site and adjacent public improve-
ments are existing or will be required as conditions
of approval.
e. The applicant has proposed, and is required by the
inclusion of an appropriate condition, to pay a
public facilities fee. Payment of this fee will
ensure that public facilities will be available
concurrent with need as required by the General Plan.
3. This project will not have any significant adverse environ-
mental impacts. A Negative Declaration, Log No. 628, was
issued on December 19, 1979, for the following reasons:
a. The site has been previously developed and therefore
the proposed structure will not have any adverse
impacts on any significant environmental resources.
b. No additional landform alteration or site modification
is proposed which would result in any potentially
significant environmental impacts.
4. This use is desirable for the development of the community
and is not detrimental to existing or proposed uses because:
a. The use is existing and the proposed building will
enclose the repair and maintenance operations.
b. The use will be removed within 5 years of approval
of this Conditional Use Permit.
-4-
5. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
use because:
a. There will be no change in use. The proposed building
will house activities already conducted on-site.
6. The use has been adequately adjusted to the surrounding
areas because:
a. A 10 foot setback will be provided between the
building and the east property line.
b. The use will be removed within 5 years of the
approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
7. The street system is adequate to service the use because
the property is located adjacent to Carlsbad Boulevard,
which is capable of handling the traffic from this use.
8. This project meets all other requirements of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.

5. This Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded at the Office
